E3 Begins, CNN Gaming Reports On Sex

Share.

E3 has begun, and the typically interesting gaming column over on CNN Money has instead decided to focus on sex titles, unconnected with the show:

The newcomer to the industry is Jameson, who recently launched "Virtually Jenna" on her Web site. The game, according to a press release, allows players to "simulate control of her sexual activity and even decide when she reaches a state of bliss."

"We're trying to be the EverQuest of adult games," Brad Abram, a developer with Xstream3D Multimedia, which made "Virtually Jenna". "It's sort of the mainstreaming of adult gaming -like what Jenna did for adult videos and DVDs. She's a great candidate to be the first crossover success."

While some might chortle at a sex simulator game, there's real money being spent: A three-day trial costs $9.95, while monthly subscriptions run $29.95. Total users for the just-released "Virtually Jenna" and an earlier version of the game that did not feature the actress currently hover around 7,500, said Abram.
